Hi, I'm new here and to South Beach. I want to try the muffins. Could anyone tell me how many of these muffins you eat at one time? I was going to make them in the mini muffin pan like Snow White's recipe suggests, but might make them in the regular size pan if it doesn't affect the taste/texture. (Can you tell I don't do alot of baking?) :O)
Thanks, Angie |

Thanks Cindy - I'd love to have your tweaks...pumpkin is very fall appealing. I'm actually on Phase 2 (week 4 on SB). I actually made the cinnamon muffins this morning...I only had one mini-muffin pan, so I got 12 mini muffins and 6 regular size. I was pleasantly surprised at how good these are!!! The texture is a bit cake like and a just a bit dry, but with some tea or milk to drink, they're GREAT! I believe I read to store these in the fridge...is that correct?

Angie - yes, I keep them in the fridge....
Ok, here are my tweaks in red: (1) 15oz. can of white beans. Rinse and drain. 4 eggs (egg beaters work fine also). I use 3 1 cup Splenda I cut splenda to 3/4 cup 1/4 cup dry milk (helps to make it rise) 2 tsp. baking powder 2 Tbsp. oil 1 tsp. vanilla I use two tsps 1 tsp. cinnamon OMIT Add 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice and a half of a cup of pumpkin. OMG - if you like pumpkin and Fall , you will LOVE these! |

I was wondering about freezing these muffins... I know they have to be refrigerated, but what if I made a huge batch to have on hand and froze them...has anyone done this?

ok, so maybe we arent a freezing muffin type of crowd
![]() but here's something I would like to throw out to all of your creative cooking gals: what about doing something that would resemble an oatmeal cookie....maybe with steel cut oats or something? would that even be possible? would I just toss in a handful into the pumpkin recipe? or maybe chop up some apples and add cinnamon?

Wendy,
They've never lasted long enough around here to freeze, but I'm sure they would be good to freeze. ![]() |

Wendy, I think you could do an oatmeal cookie with steel-cut oats, almond flour instead of wheat, and stevia (a natural plant-based sweetener available at health/whole food stores and websites) or the non-sugar sweetener of your choice to sub for the sugars (you'll lose that lovely brown sugar taste, but otherwise it should taste fine). Just adjust the sweetener to your taste; with both stevia and Splenda, a little goes a long way. Also be prepared for a grainier cookie, as almond flour is really just blanched and ground up almonds. On the plus side, you're getting extra protein from the almond flour in exchange for the processed carbs you're leaving out.

New here but I just have to post my raves at the recipes here. Well, it's time to go to the grocery and just experiment with some of the cookie recipes I found here. Have a fun and healthy one!
